Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) was on hand Tuesday afternoon as the first doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine were administered to Alexandria City Public Schools staff and teachers.
First in line for the vaccine was ACPS Superintendent Dr. Gregory Hutchings, Ed.D, who said prior to receiving the vaccine, “My job is to lead by example, and I can’t wait to get my vaccine today. I’m so thankful that we have our nurse here today, Nurse Desmond, who I adore and appreciate and hope that she’s going to be gentle with me.”
Hutchings received his vaccine without incident, and was followed by T.C. Williams High School math teacher Danielle Thorne, who was the first person to sign up for the vaccine within ACPS.

Teaching music and making holiday magic over Zoom Hannah Natanson In the warm, sunny days of August, Heather Rosner’s principal turned to her (on Zoom, of course) and asked, “Are you going to do a winter concert?” “Are you kidding me?” Rosner, a music teacher in Northern Virginia, remembers thinking. “There’s no way.
